Aug. 28—WILKES-BARRE — A man from Nanticoke was arrested by Wilkes-Barre City Police after a woman claimed he raped her along railroad tracks in the area of Carey Avenue and West Division Street Sunday.

Jermaine Lee Crosby, 40, of East Union Street, was arraigned by District Judge Rick Cronauer in Wilkes-Barre on felony charges of rape by force and sexual assault and a misdemeanor count of simple assault. Crosby was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $100,000 bail.

According to the criminal complaint:

A woman receiving medical treatment at Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre passed a note in the emergency room claiming she was raped and did not know what to do.

A police officer was summoned to the emergency room where the woman claimed she had been hanging out with Crosby for several weeks.

The woman told police Crosby wanted to have sex but she refused.

Crosby allegedly struck her on the left side of her face, pushed her to the ground and sexually assaulted while he held her down by her throat and shoulders along railroad tracks behind a store at Carey Avenue and West Division Street.

Police in the complaint said the woman’s left eye was swollen.

The woman told police she fought Crosby during the assault, the complaint says.

Police say they recovered a flannel shirt in the area where the alleged sexual assault occurred.

Court records say Crosby was released from the county correctional facility on an unrelated case when he posted $8,000 bail on July 23, related to slashing a woman during an argument about a cellular phone on South Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre, on June 4, 2022.

Crosby is scheduled for trial the week of Sept. 11 on an aggravated assault charge for the slashing, court records say.

NANTICOKE — A Nanticoke man is facing vehicular homicide charges related to an alcohol-involved crash that killed his friend and injured another person nearly two years ago.

Police in Nanticoke say James Edward Gordon, 42, of Garfield Street, had a blood alcohol level of .209 percent after he crashed a Chevrolet Tahoe down an embankment at Field and College streets on Dec. 23, 2021, according to court records.

Richard C. Gimbi Sr., 65, of Mountain Top, a rear seat passenger in the Chevrolet, died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Facility in Plains Township on Dec. 27, 2021. Another passenger, Terra Hill, sustained injuries to her head, bruised ribs and a broken left leg in two places, court records say.

Police filed charges of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence, reckless driving, careless driving, and two counts each of reckless endangerment and driving under the influence. The charges were filed Monday with District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke.

According to the criminal complaint:

Police responded to the crash at Field and College streets finding the Chevrolet down an embankment and Gordon standing outside the driver’s side door at about 11:30 p.m. Dec. 23, 2021.

Gordon initially said a deer ran out in front of them, and then uttered, “I have been drinking all day; I’m drunk,” the complaint says.

An empty Heineken beer bottle was on the ground next to the driver’s side door and an unopened 24 ounce can of Keystone Light fell from the rear driver’s side door.

Gimbi and Hall had to be extricated from the vehicle by Nanticoke…

Nanticoke was the birthplace of an All-American football player, a volunteer of the Mexican War, a decorated hero as a U.S. Army captain and major during World War I and a Luzerne County assistant district attorney.

Thomas Alexander Butkiewicz was born June 21, 1883, to Nanticoke postmaster Thomas Butkiewicz and his wife, Anna. After graduating Nanticoke High School, he studied law at Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

While attending UPenn, Butkiewicz signed up to play football for the Quakers, playing on the offensive line for three years. For the 1904 season, the Quakers went undefeated outscoring all of their opponents 222-4 to a 12-0 record and being named by sports writers of the time as the nation’s best collegiate football team in the country.
